Default Cubase Le Midi... Help Needed....

Hi There Everyone,

I just started using Cubase LE 4 for recording and I have a problem when it comes to my Midi monitoring... I couldn't hear the sound coming out of my headphones when it comes to playing the midi track, but I could hear my recorded guitar parts...
I exported a Midi Drum track from Guitar Pro 5 and when I import it in Cubase and play it, I couldn't hear the sound coming out. It know that I correctly imported the midi because whenever I play it I could see the monitor bars moving so that means I imported it right, but when I play it I could get no sound from my headphones... is there something i've done wrong? Please help me with this I would really appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you and Godbless

Sounds as though your midi track isn't connected to anything. Make sure the track's "out" is connected to your instrument/VSTi.

I guess thats the thing I'm missing... I dont have a synth/drum machine hardware so i have to go with the VSTi. What is the VSTi and where could I download these programs and how does it work? ... are there VSTis that are free to download? Since I dont have the EzDrummer software I'm going to give this one a try.

so far here's what I've done and what I get:

1. I created some drum tracks in Guitar Pro 5 and exported them into a midi file(Since I don't have a Midi controller and I'm used to program drums with Guitar Pro since then).

2. I opened a new project in CUBASE LE and imported the Midi Track(the exported midi track from guitar pro). What I get from the Left part of the screen with the panels are: input: All MIDI inputs, output: not connected, No drum map

3. I added an instrument track and set the input to "All Midi Inputs" and I set the Output to "Halion One" from the VST Instrument Selection window that pops up everytime you open a new Intrument Track, and the "No Drum map" option selected.

4. Now when I go the Halion One control(the Halion window with the Knobs, i thinks its the controller)and when i tried to add a preset, I choose any of the drum kits(country drumkit/hip-hop drumkit/rock drum kit). When I select one of those an error message pops up: "HalionOne cannot find or Load preset "Rock DrumKit". This error message pops up in any drumkit I choose, but when I select it, I could see in the Halion Control(the Halion window with the Knobs, i thinks its the controller) that the Rock Drum Kit is Loaded and I could see it in the left panel of the project that I selected the rock drum kit(so basically I had it loaded even with the error message).

5. Now when I play the Midi track just to check before I record it I couldn't hear the Playback but the levels from the fader is Bouncing in the midi track... I really find this weird...

Now I just wanted to record this Midi Drum Track I created and so that I could record my guitar tracks and I just couldn't do it because I cant hear the midi track(i even checked the monitors, i clicked and un-clicked it when the track was playing) and Im just baffled and I really dont know now what to do...

Is there any way that anyone could help me with this. I actually have screenshots except that I dont know how to upload it.
Please help me with this I've been trying to configure this for days now and I tried to post in other forums too.

I hope I explained everything correctly so that you could help me with this.

I would really appreciate it.

This may be a bit too late, but I think I've figured it out, at least on my system... I imported the midi file (drum track only if that matters) from gp5. I have "in" set to all midi inputs, then i click on the "vst instruments" and added a drum (my setup has "lm-7" under the drum selection). At that point i have the drums playing and can hear through the head phones and can play with them.... i have loaded drum stuff like drumagong or whateva a while back, I'm not sure if that is needed....
